Prologue
The moon was shining brightly on the scene below. The wind was blowing eerily across the battle field. The dead bodies of some of my most important friends lay scattered around me. The grief has yet to set in. My anger for their deaths is fueling my will to avenge them. I look across the battle field to face my opponent.
I glare at the man that had taken my friends away from me. I feel a burning hatred boiling deep inside me. A hand is put down on my shoulder to try to cool down my fiery temper just a bit. I look back to see my best friend's older brother looking down at me with a stoic expression that tells me to calm down.
"Kagome, there is no need to lash out with rage. We will get our revenge, but there is no need to be sloppy. Their deaths will be avenged. Don't give the bastard the satisfaction of killing another of us. Remember your kit waiting for you and how happy he will be to see you again." Sesshomaru said with a slight softening in his eyes that only some people could notice. Koga, who was standing to my right while Sesshomaru was on my left, came and put his left hand on my right shoulder. He had a sorrowful look in eyes that said he was also suffering on the inside.
We faced our common enemy. The man that had taken my best friend and his mate. The man that my past incarnation had created with her kindness and caring. The same man that would die by my hands. The man once named Onigumo, now named Naraku. My miko powers flared up at the sight of him smiling at my pain.
Sesshomaru and Koga release my shoulders because the shear raw power burns them badly. I walk forward slowly with Sesshomaru and Koga flanking my sides. Sesshomaru drew Tokigen and Koga flexed his claws, while I drew my bow and arrow. I smiled a full blown amused smile when Naraku lost his smirk and started stumbling backwards in retreat. I shot my arrow at the same time that both Sesshomaru and Koga attacked.
The combined attacks made a huge explosion. My vision was blurred and my head was dizzy. All I heard was an ear piercing scream. Naraku was being consumed in pink purifying flames. I smiled. Revenge sure was sweet. Then, blackness.
